Incidentally, won South Indian film has touched on this trope and it is Tamil film titled Kaadhal Podhuudhaamai. This is a Tamil film featuring several talented actors, including Rohini and Lijomal Jose in the lead roles.
The main attention grabbing point about this film is that it is essentially allowed drama based on the complex lives of two lesbians. Incidentally, two young actresses in Tamil film industry have played the lead roles in this film.
The teaser that was released last month was already a sensation as not many South Indian films are accustomed to lesbian love stories, and same gender tracks. This turned out to be the USP of the film after it premiered on OTT platform Tentkotta.
Considering the unconventional love drama track in the film, featuring not one, but two female leads who play aggressive roles, this film was always expected to grab the attention of OTT audience. In tune with this, the film has now started to trend on OTT.
There are several interesting reactions to this film now as it touches on a topic that is rather less discussed in the general society and usually draws polar reactions. The film also touches on the sensitive topic of how families react to such love stories in a conventional South Indian family set up.
Meanwhile, this film is expected to continue to create more discussions and debates as it is streaming on OTT now.
